　　Q: What type of transportation do you use when you go to school? [Why?]
　　A: I frequently take the subway to school. When people are rushing to work and school, there is always heavy congestion on the roads. Cars hardly move so I cannot estimate the exact time when I＂ll be arriving at my school. Moreover, it is economical and convenient to take the subway since there is a subway station near my home and school, not to mention the subway train arrives every few minutes and on time.
